The content of Li Mingyuan's public speech at the Yongan Hydropower Station spread quickly within half a month, and caused a lot of sensation in Europe and the United States.

Electric lamps and generators are just like the four major inventions of ancient China. They were originally invented by Western countries. However, in terms of technical improvements and practicality, the Han country has come to the forefront of Western countries in two subdivisions.

In 1854, the German watchmaker Henry Gobert immigrated to the United States made the first practical electric lamp with a carbonized bamboo wire placed in a vacuum glass bottle, which lasted for 400 hours.

In 1860, the Englishman Joseph Swan also made a carbon wire electric lamp, but he failed to obtain a good vacuum environment to keep the carbon wire working for a long time.

In 1878, the British vacuum technology developed to a desirable level. He invented a light bulb powered by carbon wire under vacuum, and obtained a British patent. In early 1875, Edison, after purchasing the vacuum degree patent, conducted experiments on improving the filament, and in the second half of 1880, manufactured a carbonized bamboo filament lamp that could last for 1,200 hours.

Carbonized bamboo filament lamp is a new type of incandescent lamp with practicality. However, because some of the technical patents for the production of carbonized bamboo filament lamp are in the hands of Henry Goebbels, the United States Patent Office has determined that Edison's invention of carbon filament incandescent lamps belongs to people. After that, the patent was invalid.

The patent application was rejected, and the industrialized production of carbonized bamboo filament lamps was put on hold. While Edison was busy fighting a patent lawsuit with Henry Goebbel's widow, the streets of Chang'an City, the capital of the Chinese capital, were already lit brightly. Tungsten filament incandescent lamp.

Tungsten filament incandescent lamp adopts a new process, bypassing the patent system of western countries, and is a more economical and popularizable product than carbonized bamboo filament lamp.

"Tungsten filament incandescent lamps have high lighting intensity, and their lifetime is two to three times that of carbonized incandescent lamps. The overall economic cost is half of carbonized bamboo filament lamps .........

From a scientific and technical perspective, I have to admit that tungsten filament incandescent lamps are an invention with excellent performance. Its emergence is an epoch-making revolution in the field of electric lamps ... "

When the German engineers passed the relevant performance data obtained from tungsten filament incandescent lamps back to Europe, a wave of momentum was set off in the European electrical science community.

"My team and I have already started screening experiments for the production of metals from incandescent filaments. Without the patent office of the United States and Mrs. Henry Goebbels blocking the patent application of carbonized bamboo filament lamps, I believe that the first invention of tungsten filament The honor of the incandescent lamp will belong to the United States, not a South American country just learning industrial reform from a western civilization.

As a research practitioner who is pure and passionate about invention, I have an equal attitude towards civilizations and races in any part of the world, but the approach of the United States Patent Office is heartbreaking and angry. They do not respect the hard work of American scientists. The results, with their old thinking as hard as stone, arrogantly stifled countless great technological inventions and hindered the further development of the United States in the field of science and technology. For the practice of the United States Patent Office, I am not only sad for the carbonized bamboo filament lamp. Destiny is sad, and countless other scientific inventors who have been treated unfairly like me are dissatisfied.

The sadness and grief in my heart is not for myself, but for the future of the American scientific community ...

Here, I publish my true thoughts publicly, hoping that the great American government can be an ideal country of freedom, equality, and respect for science, as it advertises, rather than letting the Patent Office do whatever they want and tyrannically stifling scientists to create inventions. Savage country! "

In the U.S., the news that tungsten filament incandescent lamps came first and was put into production earlier than carbonized bamboo filament lamps. Edison was extremely angry and excitedly issued a public statement in the newspapers and journals to conquer the conservative and backward management style of the US Patent Office.

Immediately after Edison, U.S. scientific scholars engaged in the research of hydroelectric generating units also brought lawsuits to the federal government. They accused the local government officials of Wisconsin of deliberately delaying and neglecting the construction progress of the Fox Hydropower Station. Behind.

Faced with the pressure of the new power field and other scientific researchers who came up to catch up with the fun, on November 14, 1882, the US Patent Office persuaded Henry Gobbel's widow to reach an understanding with Edison with the rare high efficiency, and completed the carbonized bamboo filament lamp. Patent disputes.

In the European continent, the scientific circles in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia have different reactions. Some scientists believe that the achievements of the South American Han country in the two sub-fields are only short-lived, and cannot explain the Han country in the overall science. Competitiveness in the field,

Some scientists stand on a relatively fair and neutral point of view, and point out that as a new country composed of Chinese immigrants, some whites, and a few Indians, the South American and Chinese nations can succeed one after another under the condition that the overall scientific quality of their citizens is far lower than that of the western powers. Significant progress has been made in the fields of power, medicine, military, and steel. From a completely backward industrial country, it took only fourteen years to become a primary industrial country with breakthrough achievements in certain industrial fields. They have made great achievements. They advocate that the Western powers should look at the strength and achievements of the scientific community in South America and South Korea from the perspective of scientists.

The sudden scientific and technological achievements of the Han Chinese scientific community, which has been understated and unknown for more than a decade, have surprised Western scientific circles, and have also given great encouragement to overseas Chinese and overseas students who are now caught in the lowest customs of national civilization.

"Whenever a long dream wakes up for thousands of years, who wakes up in the sleeping town!

Jia Shenguo was mourned for 300 years. ... "

In the woods outside the University of Berlin, more than 300 overseas Chinese students gathered in one place and excitedly recited the speech delivered by Li Mingyuan:

"Throughout the nations of the world, there may be 5,000 years of unchanging laws,

Jiashen was mourned, the Central Plains fell, and now the people are liberated! Men shave off money squirrel tails, women spread out traditional hairstyles and put on new style hair!

The national spirit and appearance have changed, but the improvement of national strength still requires the efforts of all citizens!

The importance of education, the independence of culture, and the advanced technology!

Only by adhering to the three core principles of the reform and reform can the empire embark on the road to prosperity and power.

Only when all citizens are united can the country resist foreign aggression! …………

Hate the humiliation of the United States and foreign countries!誓 I swear with all citizens today:

The country is not prosperous for a day, and it takes more than a moment to struggle. The people cannot be respected overseas, and it takes more than one day to struggle! Yangyi did not abandon hostile empire policy, and struggled for more than one day ... "

…………

"The country is not rich and strong every day, and it is more than a day of struggle!

Nationals cannot be respected overseas in one day, and struggle for more than one day!

Yangyi did not abandon hostile empire policy, and struggled for more than one day ... "

Hundreds of students kept repeating the last paragraph of the speech, and their expressions of excitement and excitement covered their young, **** faces!

"Classmates! Fellow fellows! Did you see that? The first hydroelectric power station and the first tungsten filament incandescent lamp were all invented by local Chinese scientists! The Huaxia nation is still the old and progressive nation! We are in the field of science No worse than white people! Chinese have never been inferior and inferior! "

Tan Yaoxun stood in the woods, his voice hoarse, "Youth is the hope of the country and the future of the nation. The country spends valuable financial funds to send us to study in Europe. We must not live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the country. We must never waste valuable study abroad. opportunity!"

"Yes! Your Majesty has issued a call to us, all Chinese children should work hard for the prosperity of the country and nation!"

At the University of Berlin, the first 17 young children studying in the United States who fled the supervision of the Qing court ’s diplomatic officials in accordance with the unified arrangements of the Han government are about to finish their university studies. As a young student studying in the United States, Pan Mingzhong and Tan Yaoxun, Shi Jinyong, Cao The three Giffords were placed together for higher education at the University of Berlin.

"Brother Tan, Brother Shi, Brother Cao and I will all graduate next year. Now that all the professional subjects in the school have been completed, I suggest using the six months from now to graduation. I will wait for four people to join large-scale industries around Berlin. Factory interviews, internships, early contact with the German industrial production industry, and make better preparations for returning to China after half a year! "

"I am a steel smelter major, and I think of the Ruhr District Iron and Steel Union interview!"

"My major is chemistry, and I think of Bayer's internship for a while ..."

"I am studying shipbuilding, and I may have to travel to coastal areas to find internships."

"My major is also steel smelting. Brother Shi and I can go to the same company for an interview" ...

After the four said the internship units they wanted to go to, other Chinese students gathered in the woods also said, "Although Brother Li and Brother Wang have just entered their freshman year this year, we can take advantage of the holidays. Time, internship at the factory. "...

"Yes, and me, I can also take time off to work in the factory for internship" …………

The German weather in November was below zero, but the Chinese students in the woods didn't seem to feel the cold around them, and everyone's face was full of vitality.

"Everyone be quiet, listen to it!"

Seeing the students with high emotions, Tan Yaoxun shook his already hoarse throat and said loudly: "Dear students, the purpose of our study abroad is to learn scientific knowledge, and learning is the first priority. Nervous, you do n’t have to follow me to the factory for internship at all. You can also use a small amount of free time. After school every day, translate a small part of German textbooks and persist for a long time. More than 300 foreign students at the University of Berlin, according to each The speed at which a student translates a textbook for two years and graduates in four years. The University of Berlin can provide six hundred Chinese-language textbooks with different majors and different levels of difficulty.

Classmates, the number of local new-generation children is more than 4 million. Every year, there will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of children enrolled in school. There is a lack of local talents who understand foreign languages ​​and can write professional foreign language books. Utilizing the professional knowledge learned by our international students, translating foreign language teaching materials such as German, English, French into Chinese can make a profound contribution to local education! "

The pain in the throat forced Tan Yaoxun's speech to stop for a moment. After just one minute, he continued to say, "The way for international students to serve the country is not just a factory internship ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ We should all be good for the country Go and try!

Now, please go to Brother Shi and Brother Cao to register your chosen category. After registration is complete, we will contact other students studying in Germany first, and then make plans based on the selected factory and the translated textbooks. Assign tasks. ".........

The Han Dynasty first dispatched the first batch of international students to Germany in 1871. During the following twelve years, from 1871 to 1878, the Han government sent a total of 3278 students to Europe.

During the three-year period from 1879 to 1882, the number of overseas students, including government and private-sponsored students, reached 3,900, more than the total number of government-student students in the previous seven years.

The rapid growth of government-sponsored and private-student foreign students has benefited from the tilt in financial resources of the Han government and the continuous development of local education.

According to government statistics, in June 1881, the first batch of native-born, 207 young and eleven-year-olds who had been screened by the Ministry of Education and performed well in school were sent to Germany after completing five years of primary education. Accept a study abroad career of about ten years,

In June 1882, the second batch of 400 young international students were sent to Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, respectively, to receive intermediate and advanced education.

Behind the breakthrough progress in the country's science and technology field is the international student program that has been promoted for more than ten years, and gradually shows the effect.

The younger local new generations have followed the footsteps of their predecessors and have embarked on the road of studying abroad in a foreign country. Their predecessors, Tan Yaoxun and other international students who are about to complete or are studying, are going to inform, contact, and try their own Make efforts to contribute to national development.
